Panic as Messi Tops List of 9 Stars Tipped to Leave Barcelona at the end of This Season - FULL LIST

Lionel Messi's future at Barcelona remains one of the puzzles the board of Joan Laporta must solve before the end of the season.

The Argentine has been linked with a move to Paris Saint Germain and Manchester City this summer as the two clubs are hoping to sign him on a free transfer.

Messi has continued to give the Catalan club sleepless nights following his refusal to pen an extension with less than three months left on his current deal.

Although the new president is confident he can get the 33-year-old to extend his reign at Camp Nou, the decision solely lies with the player.

The six-time Ballon d'Or winner made efforts to walk away from his contract last August, however, he grudgingly rescinded his decision to see out his contract with the club.

While many are of the opinion that Messi will stay at Barca, some believe it was time for him to test new waters by joining another club before he hangs his boots.

Meanwhile, Messi is not the only player tipped to quit the Nou Camp outfit at the end of this campaign, Antoine Griezmann and Samuel Umtiti are also on the shortlist.

List of all nine players who could leave Barca at the end of this campaign;

1. Lionel Messi

2. Antoine Griezmann
